Surf ninjas. It was the best kind of b movie fever dream.

To be fair it is true that Schumer and Pelosi are running the country. It’s kind of their job being elected officials and all.

Make the mandatory minimum fine 105% of the estimated revenue.

This is how it is supposed to be taught. Common core has this exact quality of numbers explicitly shield or in primary school curriculum. Numbers are not static objects but the composite of infinite functions that can be used to determine the value in whatever base number system you want. Next time someone says school didn’t teach math remind them that the US is something like 30th in the world at math and when the department of education tried to do something about it parents said it was too hard to understand and we just kept falling backwards.

You know how in dystopian stories how it always starts like 50 years after the fascists take power? Project 2025 is the plan to put the fascists into power. It pretty much places trump as dictator by putting into place all the people who will follow through this time.

I loved my LG v10 and galaxy s5. Those phones just worked and worked great for a long time.

I don’t want a dumb phone. I want a circa 2014 smart phone that is not expected to replace my laptop and serve as a constant data stream for corporations. I want to be able to visit a website on my phone and not have it try to get me to download an app, be ads on 70% of the screen, or just be unreadable formatting. Let me call, text, do a basic online search, play a stupid flash game, and take my money. Stop being greedy and trying to make everything I do monetizable

Short answer is yes. Long answer is yes because of cash bail and how expensive it is to mount a defense

Dude a news article from over 4 months ago without noting the time period is bad form.

It’s a Ringle

The state needs to ask for federal involvement in these situations. And I’m not just saying that it’s on Ohio to ask, legally how the system is set up is the state needs to ask in order for any release of aid. DeWine ® did not ask. The white house and federal agencies did everything they legally could to assist and be ready for the ask, DeWine just didn’t.

Can someone explain to me why we cannot wrap these deep fakes into existing identity theft law? Or at least impersonating a public official /government employee when it comes to politicians.

I’m really tired of so many people saying that doing something as a consequence for Trump’s actions would set a new precedent. So many things that he has done are unprecedented. There is no FAQ for when the president refuses to transfer power or when a “billionaire” politician is caught perpetrating decades of multitudes of types of fraud.

The number of countries that pegged their currency to the USD is staggering. If the US defaults for any reason the global economy ceases to exist. Crashed by Adam Tooze is a great deep dive into the 2008 financial crises and goes in depth on how interconnected all the major economies are.

I stand corrected

50 miles might not even get you from one county to another. Land mass size Texas is close to the whole of Europe.

I feel like this is a good time for Dems to gamble and try to push through a quick impeachment vote. Gets it out of the way and allows the focus to be on the Trump trials and spotlight the vulnerable GOP house members.

I feel that this really sums up the sentiment that I notice in my area.

“Most crucially, major corporations crave younger consumers and lifelong brand loyalists. Outside of cable news, older consumers are less attractive to most advertisers. And younger people (meaning anyone under 45!) lean decidedly to the left. The most coveted 18-29-year-old demographic leans farther left than any other. Long gone are the days of the Reagan youth, when 18-24-year-olds backed the Republican over Walter Mondale by over 30 points in the 1984 presidential election, and corporate America catered to them accordingly.”

The 55+ demographic has had the cultural and political focus on them their whole lives. Now that it’s not catering to their opinions they are throwing a tantrum.

If you want that memorialize it like the holocaust museums. Don’t celebrate it with a Monument.

It will never make sense to me why literal, text book definition traitors had memorials. The DoC did the best PR work in history to make that happen.
